Microsoft 365 / Intune MCP Server

A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing Microsoft 365, Microsoft Entra ID, and Microsoft Intune resources. This server provides 32 tools for automating user management, device management, file operations, and infrastructure monitoring.

🎯 Overview

This MCP server enables AI assistants and automation tools to interact with:

• Microsoft Entra ID - User and group management
• Microsoft Intune - Device, policy, and application management
• SharePoint & OneDrive - Document creation and management
• Windows Autopilot - Device provisioning
• Microsoft Tunnel - Gateway monitoring
• Mobile Device Management - Android and iOS policies
• App Protection Policies - MAM policies

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• Azure subscription with appropriate licenses (Intune, Microsoft 365)
• Azure AD application registration with required permissions

Installation

1. Clone or download this repository

   git clone <repository-url>

4. Configure environment variables

   Create a .env file in the project root:

   # Authentication Mode: "app" or "user"
   AUTH_MODE=app
   
   # Azure Service Principal Credentials (for app mode)
   AZURE_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
   AZURE_TENANT_ID=your-tenant-id

🔐 Azure App Registration Setup

Step 1: Create App Registration

5. Click Register

Step 2: Create Client Secret

1. In your app registration, go to Certificates & secrets
2. Click New client secret
3. Add a description and select expiration period
4. Click Add
5. Copy the secret value immediately (you won't see it again)

Step 3: Configure API Permissions

Go to API permissions and add the following Application permissions:

Microsoft Graph Permissions

🔍 Troubleshooting

Permission Errors (403 Forbidden)

Error: Application is not authorized to perform this operation

Solution:

1. Check that all required API permissions are added in Azure Portal
2. Ensure admin consent has been granted
3. Wait 5-10 minutes for permissions to propagate

Authentication Errors

Error: AADSTS700016: Application with identifier was not found

Solution:

• Verify AZURE_CLIENT_ID and AZURE_TENANT_ID are correct
• Check that the app registration exists in your tenant

Error: AADSTS7000215: Invalid client secret

Solution:

• Generate a new client secret in Azure Portal
• Update AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET in .env file

File Operation Errors

Error: Resource not found for the segment

Solution:

• Verify the SharePoint site ID or OneDrive user ID is correct
• Use list_sharepoint_sites() to get valid site IDs
• Ensure the folder path exists (e.g., "Shared Documents")

🛡️ Security Best Practices

1. Protect credentials: Never commit .env file to version control
2. Use least privilege: Only grant necessary API permissions
3. Rotate secrets: Regularly rotate client secrets (recommended: every 6 months)
4. Monitor access: Review Azure AD sign-in logs for suspicious activity
5. Use managed identities: Consider Azure Managed Identities for production deployments
